“There is something about stories
that hooks humans into culture, that
makes human psyches and human
societies all but indistinguishable
from texts…. The old ones’
recognition of the intrinsic identity
of text and human consciousness
informs the structures of the whole
of the oral tradition, and critical
theory in Indian Country consists of
the subtle junctures of story cycles.”
